We document and analyze the various sources of funding that support programs for children in a state, city, county, or Native nation, and coach local leaders on how to collect, sustain, and use fiscal map data in their communities.
We work with local leaders to estimate how much money they need to achieve their goals for kids and to build the skills, knowledge, and resources they need to grow and sustain their cost modeling expertise.
We collect examples of both common and creative funding sources currently used to support children and youth and collaborate with leaders to determine which options are viable in their context.
We support dozens of state and local teams nationwide in establishing and maintaining voter-approved children’s funds—state or local tax revenue that voters dedicate exclusively to children and youth services via a ballot measure.
